If you haven't heard.....meaning somehow you missed the loud whooping....
DON'T LET GO is coming out in print!
June 30th is the day, and I'm so excited to have Noah and Jules out in the world in print form. :) In addition to that, there will be bonus content (in print and ebook)... an epilogue that picks back up with them a year later. On Seth's birthday. And oh my my my... You know how crazy things always happen on his birthday!
It's up for preorder now, and I hope you'll pick one up and share the news!

See me back there poking my head through the TV? :) I got invited to Skype in to a book club in Defiance, Ohio, today after they'd read DON'T LET GO, and what a hoot! So much fun to visit book club meetings, I always love it. Especially when I can go in person, but did you know you can just dial me up and I can pop right into your meeting just like this?
Yep. Just shoot me a message at sharla@sharlalovelace.com or use the form on my contact page, and we'll set it up!
By the way, if I get to come in person, I love cake balls. Just sayin'... ... Read More

Started writing a new book/series today. :) Exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. Like getting on a roller coaster without seeing it first! Wheeeee!
And while that sounds exciting for some of you who love roller coasters, I'm one of those people who have to look at that beast. Study it for a while. See where the scary parts are going to be and really think it out. Because for one, I'm afraid of heights. Two, don't like going upside down. And three, I only trust the ones that have those things that come down over your shoulders and clamp you in. Yes, I know that means they are ... Read More

You have a dirty little mind, don't you? LOL, you'll find out about that couch soon enough, but first....I've been tagged!!
Author buddy, Tracy Solheim has tagged me in a blog hop! She had a great analogy on her post about blog hops being like those old fashioned chain letters we all used to get/start when we were young. I remember my mother telling me "Don't you dare pass that on!" Well, here I am, all up in the webby version of it, and yep, I'm passing it on. :) And that's okay, all I have to do is answer a few questions about my writing and then “tag” two other writer friends. Not ... Read More

The day after a book release....
...is a mixture of breathing deeply again and panic. Whew! The rush is over, I can get up from the couch, I can stop obsessively watching the Amazon ranking fall, rise, fall, rise (dang it, quit rising!)
But none of it stops. None of it is over. You still worry "Did I do enough to market it? Is there something I'm missing? Why did so-and-so hit #49 when you hit #12049? You keep worrying and panicking and hoping and checking the Amazon ranking, but in the midst of all that, you go back to writing that next book.
Because when it comes down to it, if you ... Read More

My newest book, DON'T LET GO is out and having a great time today! :)
It's about first love, unspeakable choices, and second chances. Here's a little teaser to pique your interest...
***
Morning? Really? I opened my mouth to say something back, but nothing came out, so I licked my lips and fidgeted with my robe like a crazy woman.
“Too early?” he asked, as if that were a normal thing to say to me as well.
A laugh-scoff-snort thing fell out of my mouth, which I chalked up to rounding out the perfect start to the day. I coughed and cleared my throat.
“No, I’m—just getting ready for work.” ... Read More

Don’t Let Go Review from The Romance Room

Sharla Lovelace has produced one of the most emotionally charged and beautifully written second-chance love stories I have read in a very long time. The characters, the storyline, the twists, the surprises, the emotions, the tears.. everything… it’s just the most perfect book. - The Romance Room

The Reason is You review by Kathryn Magendie

“A spot-on debut novel, Sharla Lovelace’s prose is smart, witty, funny, with a hot sexy edge that makes The Reason Is You an oh-so-tantalizing romantic journey…the line between our world and the mystical one is deliciously blurred.” ~ Kathryn Magendie, author of Tender Graces, Secret Graces, Family Graces, Sweetie

The Reason is You review by Therese Walsh

“The Reason Is You is a romantic story about love, ghosts, and second chances. But under all of that, it’s a story about redemption. This novel is the definition of a page-turner.” ~ Therese Walsh, author of The Last Will of Moira Leahy

Before and Ever Since review by Romantic Times Book Reviews

"Lovelace does a great job of bridging the past with the present. The characters are smart, funny and well rounded. It is refreshing to see a female character, with obvious vulnerabilities, exhibit such strength in situations that would make other women cringe." ~Romantic Times Book Reviews

Before and Ever Since review by Joyfully Reviewed

"Before And Ever Since is a beautifully crafted, thought provoking story that engaged me from the first few words. The chemistry between Emily and Ben was sizzling hot, and I was quite enamored of these two attempting to work things out…that I could NOT put this story down until I finished it." ~ Joyfully Reviewed, November 2012 Recommended Read

Before and Ever Since review by Cocktails & Books

"Sharla Lovelace is a gifted storyteller. She creates characters that are very down-to-earth, flawed and understand that there isn’t a fairy tale happily ever after waiting for them at the end. It’s raw, it’s gritty and it’s not tied up with a pretty bow, which makes it feel so very real. I look forward to reading more from Sharla Lovelace in the future." ~Cocktails & Books
